So spellcreator is outdated and wont support TFS 1.1 which is what I use; all the spell tutorials I've read are just about how to change effects/animations/etc so they aren't relevant for me. I was wondering if I posted the spell I made on spellcreator, could someone with knowledge of TFS 1.1 edit the script so that it will be compatable?
Code: 
local combat0_Brush_2 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ENERGY)
function getDmg_Brush_2(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1 
end
setCombatCallback(combat0_Brush_2, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush_2")
local dfcombat0_Brush_2 = {CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL,0,1}

-- Areas/Combat for 100ms
local combat1_Brush = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_FIRE)
function getDmg_Brush(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1 
end
setCombatCallback(combat1_Brush, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush")
local dfcombat1_Brush = {CONST_ANI_FIRE,0,1}

-- Areas/Combat for 200ms
local combat2_Brush_3 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ICEATTACK)
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ICEDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ICE)
function getDmg_Brush_3(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1 
end
setCombatCallback(combat2_Brush_3, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush_3")
local dfcombat2_Brush_3 = {CONST_ANI_ICE,0,1}

-- =============== CORE FUNCTIONS ===============
local function RunPart(c,cid,var,dirList,dirEmitPos) -- Part
    if (isCreature(cid)) then
        doCombat(cid, c, var)
        if (dirList ~= nil) then -- Emit distance effects
            local i = 2;
            while (i < #dirList) do
                doSendDistanceShoot(dirEmitPos,{x=dirEmitPos.x-dirList[i],y=dirEmitPos.y-dirList[i+1],z=dirEmitPos.z},dirList[1])
                i = i + 2
            end       
        end
    end
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local startPos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
    RunPart(combat0_Brush_2,cid,var,dfcombat0_Brush_2,startPos)
    addEvent(RunPart,100,combat1_Brush,cid,var,dfcombat1_Brush,startPos)
    addEvent(RunPart,200,combat2_Brush_3,cid,var,dfcombat2_Brush_3,startPos)
    return true
end


This is the error I'm currently getting:
Code: 
Lua Script Error: [Spell Interface]
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:onCastSpell
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:52: attempt to call global 'getC
reaturePosition' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

        data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:52: in function <data/sp
ells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:51>


I'm hoping that if someone will edit this for me that it will give me a reliable source to look at to understand how to write the script myself for future references. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how this didn't come up when I searched addevent, it's a pretty good tutorial on how to use it but I'm still unsure of what functions to use

I didn't check the rest of the code, I only fixed the error
Code: 
local combat0_Brush_2 = createCombatObject()

Thank you for the help, I changed my script to the one @Breed edited and I added the file @Evil Puncker posted to my data folder as "compat".
Now this is the error I'm getting:
Code: 
Lua Script Error: [Spell Interface]
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:onCastSpell
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:48: attempt to index a nil value

stack traceback:
        [C]: in function '__index'
        data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:48: in function <data/sp
ells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:47>
Thanks again for the help guys!

Here is some "help"
Code: 
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:onCastSpell
data/spells/scripts/custom/elemental strike.lua:48: attempt to index a nil value
See what it says notice the number? strike.lua:48 <-- is the line the error is on
attempt to index a nil value <-- this is the error

This is line 48
Code: 
local startPos = Player(cid):getTarget():getPosition()
Your halfway there.. I can help you no more..

So I just changed a few things and removed some lines but it seems to be working now... this is the script I have now. Let me know if you see anything wrong with it?
Code: 
local combat0_Brush_2 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat0_Brush_2, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ENERGY)
function getDmg_Brush_2(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1
end
setCombatCallback(combat0_Brush_2, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush_2")
local dfcombat0_Brush_2 = {CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL,0,1}

-- Areas/Combat for 100ms
local combat1_Brush = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat1_Brush, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_FIRE)
function getDmg_Brush(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1
end
setCombatCallback(combat1_Brush, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush")
local dfcombat1_Brush = {CONST_ANI_FIRE,0,1}

-- Areas/Combat for 200ms
local combat2_Brush_3 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ICEATTACK)
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ICEDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat2_Brush_3, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ICE)
function getDmg_Brush_3(cid, level, maglevel)
    return (10)*-1,(20)*-1
end
setCombatCallback(combat2_Brush_3, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "getDmg_Brush_3")
local dfcombat2_Brush_3 = {CONST_ANI_ICE,0,1}

-- =============== CORE FUNCTIONS ===============
local function RunPart(c,cid,var,dirList,dirEmitPos) -- Part
    if (Creature(cid)) then
        doCombat(cid, c, var) 
    end
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local startPos = Player(cid):getTarget():getPosition()
    addEvent(RunPart,50,combat0_Brush_2,cid,var,dfcombat0_Brush_2,startPos)
    addEvent(RunPart,100,combat1_Brush,cid,var,dfcombat1_Brush,startPos)
    addEvent(RunPart,200,combat2_Brush_3,cid,var,dfcombat2_Brush_3,startPos)
    return true
end
And sorry I'm asking for so much help, I have no experience in scripting so I'm very limited in what I can do.

EDIT: One problem noted was that since I removed the sendDirectionshoottype and the other direction lines I get a console error when I cast the spell with no target selected. I changed the spell to require a target to patch this error for now..

It's no problem bro, most of us have been there too ^^
if you used the compat of Evil Puncker, u should be able to use the spell file you first used.
I guess thats what evil puncker gave it for in the first place :)

I added the compat but do I also need to reference it somewhere? Because I feel as if it didn't register and therefore didn't fix the compatability :/

He is correct. Go into your global.lua file and add the line dofile("data/compat.lua") somewhere (usually at the top), and make sure it is in appropriate directory, in the example I used it would be in the data folder. If you wanted to do a sub folder you could do it like this dofile("data/libs/compat.lua").
